Method for displaying a message summary by analyzing the message to identify a sending institution and a message type. A message cluster is determined from the sending institution and repository of messages for multiple users. Extracted items can be identified in the message using the message type. Then the message summary can be generated using the extracted items, the message cluster, and the message structure. These summaries can be used to efficiently summarize a large volume of messages compactly.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the message summary contains at least one HTML, table extracted as message-specific information.
This invention relates to message processing systems, specifically methods for extracting and summarizing structured data from electronic messages. The problem addressed is the difficulty in automatically identifying and extracting meaningful, structured information from unstructured or semi-structured message content, particularly when the data is embedded in HTML tables or other formatted elements. The method involves analyzing an electronic message to identify and extract structured data, such as tables, from the message content. The extracted data is then processed to generate a message summary that includes the structured information. This summary is stored or displayed separately from the original message, allowing users to quickly access key data without reviewing the entire message. The extracted data may include tables, HTML elements, or other structured formats, and the summary is tailored to the specific content of the message. The method ensures that relevant structured information is preserved and easily accessible, improving efficiency in message processing and data retrieval.
7. The method of claim 2, further causing display of the message-specific information is visible in a list or table view of message summaries without having to open the specific message.
User interface for displaying messages. This invention addresses the problem of efficiently conveying message-specific details without requiring users to open each individual message. The method involves generating a display of message summaries. For each message summary presented, further message-specific information is also made visible. This message-specific information is displayed within a list view or a table view alongside the message summaries. Consequently, users can ascertain crucial details related to a message without the need to launch and examine the full content of that message. This allows for quicker scanning and comprehension of multiple messages, improving user workflow and information retrieval speed in messaging applications or systems.
11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10, wherein the message summary contains at least one HTML, table extracted as message-specific information.
This invention relates to data processing systems for extracting and summarizing information from electronic messages, particularly for improving the efficiency of message analysis. The problem addressed is the difficulty in quickly identifying key information from large volumes of messages, such as emails or chat logs, which often contain unstructured or semi-structured data. The solution involves a computer-implemented method that processes messages to generate summaries, where the summaries include extracted data in a structured format, such as HTML or table data, to enhance readability and usability. The system extracts message-specific information, including structured data like tables or HTML content, and incorporates this into a summary. This allows users to quickly access critical data without manually parsing through entire messages. The extraction process may involve parsing the message content to identify and isolate structured elements, such as tables or formatted text, and then integrating these into a condensed summary. The summary is generated in a way that preserves the original structure of the extracted data, ensuring that relationships and formatting are maintained for accurate interpretation. This approach is particularly useful in environments where rapid decision-making is required, such as customer support, legal review, or business analytics, where extracting and summarizing key data from messages can significantly reduce processing time and improve accuracy. The invention ensures that structured data within messages is not lost during summarization, providing a more comprehensive and useful output.
14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9, holding program code that, when combined with a computer system, prepare the computer system to implement a method further causing display of the message-specific information is visible in a list or table view of message summaries without having to open the specific message.
This invention relates to computer systems for displaying message-specific information in a messaging application. The problem addressed is the inefficiency of requiring users to open individual messages to view detailed information, which disrupts workflow and reduces productivity. The solution involves a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program code that, when executed by a computer system, enables the display of message-specific information directly within a list or table view of message summaries. This eliminates the need to open each message individually to access the details. The system processes messages to extract relevant information, such as sender, subject, date, and custom metadata, and presents this data in a structured format alongside message summaries. The program code integrates with the computer system to dynamically update the displayed information as new messages arrive or existing messages are modified. This approach enhances user experience by providing quick access to critical details without navigating away from the summary view, improving efficiency in message management. The invention is particularly useful in environments where users handle large volumes of messages, such as email clients, collaboration tools, or enterprise communication platforms.
18. The method of claim 17, wherein the message summary contains at least one HTML, table extracted as message-specific information.
